"Perfect Day" by Marija

I was listening to the radio this morning and the weather announcer said it was going to be “...a perfect day.”  He was referring to a low of 70, a high of 82 and low humidity.    While weather is important, I need a little more than a sunny sky for my day to be perfect.  But do I really know what my perfect day would be like? 

I remember reading one of those Woman vs. Man things wherein each described their perfect days.  The male version involved a lot of oral sex performed by attractive celebrities.  I don’t remember all of the details of the female version, but I do recall the opening entry:

8:00 AM – Wake up thin.

Actually, that’s a good start.  This morning I got up and pulled on a pair of jeans that I bought when I weighed about fifteen more pounds than I do today and, although there are quite a few pounds between me and the word “thin,” it was enough for me to appreciate that as a first step.

But a PERFECT day?  

Well, I’d need some really good food.  I’d need to spend time with people I care about.  There would have to be some music, preferably with me getting to sing at least some of it.  And maybe dance to it a little, too.  Sailing would be good.  And making love, of course.

Okay, I’ve just described a pretty full day, but I just realized there is nothing on the list that is unattainable.  I could, with some effort, put that day together.  With my single status, making love is probably the trickiest part.   But I am not without prospects, even on that front.  And even if I only pulled off two or three of the elements, it would still be a pretty darned good day! 

I guess I needed a reminder to work a little harder and having as many of those good days as I can, no matter what the weather report says.  I see that on my list, only one item is affected by the weather, anyway.

What elements would your perfect day need?
